MIL-DTL-27072E
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the
contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-house contractor
personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain packaging
requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging
activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within the military service's system commands.
Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's
automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not
mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The cable covered in this specification is intended for use in extensive electrical
and electronic applications in protected areas. The cables are not intended for use as portable cables to
be laid in the open where they may be subjected to vehicular traffic, or for direct burial. The cables
provide flexible single shielded and multi-conductor cable for use within tunnels, wire ways, instrument
racks, and conduits within electronic equipment, trailers, or buildings, and in protected runways between
buildings. The cable uses are for data transmission, synchronizing pulses, audio and video signals,
control power, radio frequency signals, and operating power for electronic equipment. All cables
constructed with any PVC materials are prohibited from aerospace use.
6.1.1 Selection of basic wire. Table XIV may be used as a guide to the selection of the basic wires.
The values given are for engineering guidance only and are not intended to be specification requirements
or firm limitations.
6.1.1.1 Wire designated A and B. These wire types have a tough mechanical outer coating over the
conductor cable during manufacture and installation. This jacket is considered necessary because of the
physical abuse presented to multiconductor cable during manufacture and installation. It is particularly
necessary where the wires are to be shielded or in contact with other shielded wires to prevent small
broken strands in the shield from penetrating through the relatively soft primary insulation and causing
circuit failure. The polyamide specified is that which has been used for several years successfully in
electronic and aircraft type wire for electrical purposes and has very low moisture absorption with
desirable electrical properties.
